4.6.2.2 Speed Test (F1 2 2)

The Speed Test tests all devices cycling at all the available speeds.

4.6.2.3 Shutter Test (F1 2 3)

The Shutter Test tests shutter(s). If one or two SmartShutters are attached, the Shutter Test
cycles through the various SmartShutter modes during the test.

4.6.2.4 Demo (F1 2 4)

The Demo selection places the LAMBDA 10-B in demo mode, whereby the all the features of
the filter wheel and/or shutter(s) are cycled through, in continuous mode.

4.6.3 SmartShutter Mode Menu (F1 3)

Pressing 3 ("3-MODE") at the main menu (or F1 3), displays the menu that lists the modes
available for the shutter (SmartShutter only), if installed.
The mode selection in this menu controls the way in which the
closes.

4.6.3.1 Fast Mode (F1 3 1)

In the Fast mode, the SmartShutter opens and closes as quickly as possible, which is about 8
msec.

4.6.3.2 Soft Mode (F1 3 2)

In the Soft mode, the SmartShutter's motion is slowed considerably in order to reduce the
chance of producing vibration.

4.6.3.3 Neutral Density Mode (F1 3 3)

In the ND (Neutral Density) mode, the extent of opening is determined by additional
numeric key presses with a value of 1 to 144. When you have keyed in the desired value,
press the F2 key to store the result. 1 produces so little movement that the shutter blade
should still block the aperture, whereas 144 produces full opening. Owing to the geometry of
the blade and the aperture, the amount of attenuation will not be a linear function of the
value entered. In addition, partial opening may cause shading if the SmartShutter is not used
in an appropriate optical system.
